Win $10,000 if you can prove man-main global climate change is not occurring

The question now is what are we gonna DO.

Let our great grand kids who will have much better tech than us figure out the solution, and in the mean time we will just have to live with the weather being 1 degree hotter than normal.

there is zero proof. It is all based off speculation from a tiny sample size of 64 years when weather monitering instruments were invented. The creator of the global warming theory himself retracted it and said he was wrong.

If you look at the past billion years of history you will see that the earth went through much more dramatic climate changes by itself, before humans, or any life form for that matter, even existed.

Pro-climate change people are desperate and clutching at straws.

Governments love global warming because it is another thing that they will try to tax. 'Carbon footprint tax' XD lol and the idiots will gladly accept.

Look at the 1700s, our people started a revolution when they started taxing tea. Now they are taxing 'carbon footprints' and everyone is eager to pay up.

Just look at the European warming period in the 900s. Much more dramatic climate change then what is happening right now. I suppose humans caused that too

I agree it is impossible and improper to point to melting caps and such and say "SEE!!! WE DID THIS!!!" We have no idea what our activity is contributing to any climate variance. What we've done so far may not even have made any impact of consequence, and is just coinciding with natural changes.

However in theory it's pretty scientifically sound that it will EVENTUALLY contribute if it isnt already. When you burn things and fill the air with gas, you do create a greenhouse effect. Otherwise the suns light just bounces off the earth and reflects back into space. But when youre burning tons of oil, and youve got huge populations of people and cattle converting solid nutrients into gas of their own etc and its all just going up into the atmosphere.. More and more heat will eventually get trapped. I mean its pretty basic science.

In addition to that and not even withstanding the climate change issue, hjmanity is threatening to destroy so many species and natural habitats which took millions or even billions of years to evolve. And it takes us just a few hundred years to wipe them out for good. Thats pretty fukced up if you think about it.

Civilization has some HARD decisions to make and whats probably going to happen is that we'll be too gutless to act, and instead just keep putting it off in favor of armchair partisan bickering which is much more convenient and guiltless.

Humans arent causing global warming... but we are accelerating the process of it

everything we do have a butterfly effect, you cannot deny that through the industrial revolution we have released tons of CO2 into the atmosphere and its starting to take its tolls... and its pretty much too late to try to reverse or slow down the effects now, its more about what we should do...

No it isn't. It's based on CO2 which is easy to measure, even historically.

Go watch yourself some Cosmos, he breaks it down for people who aren't very smart.

It's easy to see that the level of CO2 has drastically increased but it isn't easy to see how that has effected the climate.

So if a 17 year old brought actual "proof" forward via sci-method he/she would not be awarded anything

?

What does age have to do with this? They just have to follow the scientific method.

Also why is "proof" in quotes?

I was also wondering what age has to do with this...in the OP (that you made) it states that you must be 18 to enter...but why?

"proof" is in quotes because it is an impossible feat here...there is no way to provide literal "proof". At least I don't think there is, if someone actually accomplished that my mind would be blown

thats nothing, there is $100,000 on the table for anybody who can prove the flying spaghetti monster does not exist.

There is enough proof to hold up in a court room, we know the creator.

Proving it via scientific method is another story though.

He probably didn't want the hassle of dealing with minors or being accused of collecting kids emails.

i dont really understand your post, you saying there is enough evidence to prove in a court room that the spaghetti monster does not exist?

Yes, in the imaginary case that is set out to prove or disprove it's existence lol

I get that this scenario is laughable, just saying there is substantial evidence that goes beyond the obvious. The creator is known.

you better hope that I am not on the jury in that courtroom


Our lord which art in a colander, draining be your noodles. Thy noodle come, thy meatballs be done, as it is saucy in heaven. Give us this day our garlic bread, and forgive us our lack of parmasean. And lead us not into vegetarianism, but deliver us some pizza. For thine is the colander, the noodle, and the sauce, forever and ever. Ramen.

Countless peer reviewed papers have recognized the statistical significance of man made climate change that there's really no room for counterpoint; the only issue is what are the consequences.
